Last Song for You (Chinese: 久別重逢) is a 2024 Hong Kong romance film directed and written by Jill Leung in his directorial debut and produced by Wilson Yip. Starring Ekin Cheng, Natalie Hsu, Ian Chan, and Cecilia Choi, the film follows a washed-up songwriter (Cheng) who embarks on a journey with the daughter of his childhood love (Hsu) to navigate his life and heal old wounds.
Marking a transition from screenwriting in the Hong Kong action cinema, Jill Leung intended to make his directorial debut with a romance film, which was greenlit by the Hong Kong Film Development Council in January 2021. Principal photography began in October 2023, taking place primarily in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong and Shikoku, Japan. The film also features a theme song of the same title, co-performed by lead actors Ekin Cheng and Ian Chan. The film was theatrically released in Hong Kong on 20 December 2024, and received seven nominations in the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards, with Natalie Hsu nominated for Best Actress.
